Growing up with 4c hair, I feel like one thing I heard all the time was that my hair was "too difficult to deal with" and that I should "get relaxers to make my hair more manageable." Fast forward to 2020, and I now know that's actually BS. IMO, the world is your oyster when it comes to all the ways you can style 4c hair—you can experiment with extensions, change up your texture with a twist-out, blow it out, or slick it back into a low bun. Seriously, the options are endless. So whether you're in a styling rut or you just started your natural hair journey and need some inspo, keep scrolling for 15 4c hairstyles that you'll absolutely love (trust me).
